lyrics

Sing, my tongue, the ageless story
as the cross is lifted high.
Tell how Christ, our Savior conquered, when for us he came to die,
as a victim in the battle,
death’s dominion to belie.
To the virgin, for our healing,
His own Son the Father sends,
From the Father’s love proceeding,
Sower, seed and word descends;
Wondrous life of word incarnate
With his greatest wonder ends!
On that paschal evening see him
with the chosen twelve recline;
to the old law still obedient,
in its feast of love divine.
Love divine,
the new law giving,
gives himself as bread and wine,
by His word, the word Almighty
makes of bread his flesh indeed.
Wine becomes his very life blood,
faith God’s living word must heed.
Come adore this wondrous presence,
bow to Christ the source of grace.
Here is kept the ancient promise
of His earthly dwelling place.
Hail the blood which, shed for sinners,
did a broken world restore.
Hail the sacrament most holy,
flesh and blood of Christ adore.
Faith alone may safely guide us
where the senses cannot lead.

I started composing when I was 10. I called one of my first songs "Nostalgia", although I can't recall what my ten year old self was so nostalgic about. Released my first album in 2000. Things got busy, but I never stopped writing. Even if it meant composing on a mostly-broken piano in the basement of a university that I wasn't even enrolled in. Enjoy all the music and reading! Pax.
